Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false
Gore said there was a 75% chance the entire north polar ice cap would 
likely be gone by 2016


For example, Gore said during a speech at the Copenhagen Climate 
Conference in 2009 that there was "a 75% chance that the entire north 
polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely 
ice-free within the next five to seven years." The former vice president 
made similar comments at least twice before in speeches, citing research.

However, the Arctic ice cap hasn't been eliminated at any point over the 
last decade. According to the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, the Arctic ice minimum extent, or ice coverage during 
the warmest month of the year, is declining at 12.6% per decade.

In addition, in his 2006 global warming documentary "An Inconvenient 
Truth," Gore predicted that the global sea level could rise as much as 
20 feet "in the near future."

Since 1880, the global sea level has risen 8-9 inches and, between 
1993-2021, the sea level has ticked up 3.8 inches, according to the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). At that rate, it 
would take approximately 1,136 years for the world's sea level to rise 
20 feet.

Gore also claimed in 2006 that there would be no solving climate change 
if drastic measures weren't taken around the world to reduce greenhouse 
gases by 2016. However, annual global carbon emissions increased from 
30.59 billion tons in 2006 to 35.52 billion tons in 2016 and 37.12 
billion tons in 2021, according to the Global Carbon Project. Gore has 
continued to argue for climate action to save the planet.

"Well, some changes, unfortunately, have already been locked in place," 
Gore said when asked by ABC News about the prediction in 2019. "Sea 
level increases are going to continue no matter what we do now. But, we 
can prevent much larger sea level increases — much more rapid increases 
in temperatures."

And in a 2007 speech delivered in Norway after receiving a Nobel Peace 
Prize for his work informing the public about the dangers posed by 
climate change, Gore noted research that said the Earth’s average 
temperature would increase by "many degrees" if the amount of carbon in 
the atmosphere doubled.

Scientists, though, have projected the world's temperature to increase 
by at most 2.9 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial period by 2100 
when the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is expected to 
double, the New York Times reported in November. That would amount to an 
increase of 1 degree Celsius compared to 2022, according to the NOAA.

In the same speech, Gore warned that stronger storms would continue to 
threaten entire cities. However, there has been a slight downward trend 
over the last 30 years of the Accumulated Cyclone Energy index, a tool 
used to measure tropical storm activity around the world, according to 
meteorologist and NOAA's former chief scientist Ryan Maue.

"The climate movement's real weakness is that, besides the intellectual 
bankruptcy of what they're trying to do, is that they're led by these 
clowns like Al Gore and John Kerry and Joe Biden," Steve Milloy, a 
senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute and 
publisher of JunkScience.com, told Fox News Digital in an interview.

"They say such extreme things — and all the institutions, the government 
and the media. How do they ever walk any of that back?" he continued. 
"The answer is they can't. So, they've got to move forward providing cover."
